This book provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the development of our knowledge of the geology of the older rocks from the time of the founding of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1831 to the present day. The introductory lecture delivered by the author at the 1861 meeting of the Geological Section of the Association. The author contrasts the limited state of knowledge in 1831 with the advances that had been made by 1861, particularly in the understanding of the order and character of the formations below the Old Red Sandstone. He highlights the work of himself and others in establishing the Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian, and Permian systems, and discusses the significance of these discoveries. The author also provides a detailed account of the various theories and controversies surrounding the formation of coal.
